Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 Reloaded is giving us HRM-9 and TAQ Evolvere, two powerful new weapons to experiment with. First things first, you need to unlock HRM-9 and TAQ Evolvere in MW3 or Warzone — here’s how.
How to unlock HRM-9 in MW3, Warzone, or MWZ
You only need to unlock HRM-9 and TAQ Evolvere through one Call of Duty game mode to unlock it universally. That means you can play MW3 or Warzone to unlock HRM-9. So far, the only way to unlock HRM-9 isvia the Battle Pass.

You have to earn XP by doing anything in Warzone, MW3, and/or MWZ to earn Battle Pass Tokens. Then, spend those Tokens to get to the A21 tile on the Battle Pass which is right next to the starting A1 tile. In total, you need tospend 10 Battle Pass Tokens to unlock the HMR-9.
There is another layer to it, though. Each item in this sector requires you to spend a Token, but first, you need tocomplete its special requirement. Once all items have been unlocked, only then can you complete the requirement for the HRM-9 and unlock the weapon. Here are the requirements for each item in A21:
HRM-9 is an SMG that hasa high fire rate and great mobility and handling. The base model is very good in close-quarter combat which means it’ll be most useful in Modern Warfare 3 matches. As always, you can use the Gunsmith to make HRM-9 better at midrange, but I think your best bet with HRM-9 is to lean into the speed at which you can shred enemies while running and gunning.
How to unlock TAQ Evolvere in MW3, Warzone, or MWZ
The only way to unlock TAQ Evolvere is tocomplete the Weekly Challenge Week 7. To do this, you need to complete any five Challenges from Week 7 on Warzone, Modern Warfare 3, or Modern Warfare Zombies.
The easiest ones I recommend completingare getting three Operator Fury kills witha Recommended Weapon, get First Blood three times with a Recommended Weapon, clear five Infested Strongholds, get 75 Mercenary kills with a Recommended Weapon, and place in the top 10 five times in Battle Royale.
TAQ Evolvere isan LMG that features many attachmentswhich makes it a versatile weapon for any playstyle. Notably, the base model has a high fire rate and decent handling and accuracy.
To reiterate, the TAQ Evolvere is unlocked by completing the Week 7 Weekly Challenge, and the HRM-9 is unlocked via the Season 1 Reloaded Battle Pass.Another mysteryyou may want to learn about iswhen Rebirth Island is coming to Modern Warfare 3.
